"True Colors"

You think you know someone 

Like the back of your hand 

But if you stare at it long enough 

You’ll realize blemishes you’ve never seen before 

We think because we’ve had it 

In our lives for so long 

That we know all of its nooks and crannies

Ignoring the fact we haven’t seen it from every angle 

People have a way of revealing 

Only what they want us to see

And we have a way of 

Accepting only what we want to believe 

And when true colors are revealed 

We see how we’ve truly been aware all along 

But instead of facing the music we cover it 

With a lullaby

A sweet sweet song 

If that’s my girl 

And that’s my man 

I’ve known her forever 

My life long friend 

While ignoring that daunting tune in the background 

Of deceit, jealousy and let down
